I recently bought a Bacharach Informant 2. You should check it out! I am very happy with it. It found a 410a leak that I had been looking for that 2 other techs from different companies had searched for before me. As far as Field Piece goes... It got its name because the Piece of Sh*t falls apart inf the field! Don't buy them... You'll regret it very soon!

There's my .02

I have a 11 year old Fieldpiece HS26 "stick" meter. It has spent it's entire life in my tool bag, in the rain, snow, temp from 0 degrees up to 130. It is used several times a day and I never had an issue with it. Not once. I have also used a SC76 for 5 years without any issues.

All Pro Areas should be closed to the general public. They do not use are tools. All we need is a tool with a bad review and the customer see us pull it out of our bag to use and BAM, he has formed an opinion. I vote to close it off to uneducated eyes. The site is growing and needs to be tweaked a bit.

The tools section is what brought me to this site. I was looking for reviews on a couple things and found this. I've been in the field for 10 years so I'm not the general public. I know what these tools are and how to use them. In short I love the site and if this area were blocked I wouldn't be here now.

I would hardly say that just because someone is a guest that they don't use "your" equipment. I have a couple grand in new tools and who knows what in old stuff that I either own have owned or have been issued that prove that wrong.
Just sayin...
